"It is an honor to be recognized by Oracle for our expertise across industries and geographies," said Krishnan Ramanujam, Global Head, Enterprise Solutions, TCS. "We know that our clients, who represent some of the world's leading companies across a myriad of industries, are facing unprecedented change, driven in large part by converging technologies, including cloud, mobile, social, and big data management. Oracle and TCS share a commitment to developing innovative solutions that can help companies manage these disruptions in order to digitally transform their businesses and better serve their customers."

TCS' longstanding relationship with Oracle dates back to 1987. The two companies have helped their customers navigate businesses' most complex challenges. As customers begin to demand personalized service across platforms, it is increasingly important for brand owners to engage, serve and sell to their customers in new ways. In order to deliver real-time engagement on the front end, companies must fundamentally change traditional business processes and reimagine traditional database systems. Helping companies to navigate this journey is a TCS core competency and, powered by Oracle's suite of apps and products, TCS has helped clients realize significant results.

"TCS has demonstrated an outstanding level of innovation in delivering proven, Oracle-based solutions that solve our joint customers' most critical business challenges," said Terri Hall, group vice president, North America Sales, Alliances and Innovative Client Services, Oracle. "We congratulate TCS in winning two 2014 Oracle Excellence Awards, for Specialized Partner of the Year in North America for Customer Experience and Specialized Partner of the Year in APAC for Database. These achievements are a testament to TCS' dedication to excellence and providing its customers with solutions and services that deliver real business value and successful results."

The other Specialized Partner awards given to systems integrators are for Human Capital Management (HCM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Similarly, the Specialized Partner of the Year APAC awards recognize partner excellence in a number of areas, including sales, marketing, and solution development.
